Fresh Lemon Mix (Printable Version)

This zesty, fresh lemon vinaigrette blends Dijon mustard and lemon juice in minutes. Ideal for bowls or greens.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - Juice from 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup)

02 - 1/2 cup olive oil, extra virgin

03 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

04 - Season with salt and black pepper

→ Optional Flavor Boosts

05 - 1 minced clove of garlic (small)

06 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano or chopped fresh herbs of your choice

07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness

# Steps:

01 - In a jar or small bowl, mix together mustard and lemon juice until smooth.

02 - If you'd like, add honey or maple syrup and stir well so it blends completely.

03 - As you whisk, gradually pour in olive oil and keep mixing until the texture is creamy and consistent.

04 - Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. Add oregano or minced garlic if you want extra zing.

05 - Pour it onto your salad right away or keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Give it a good stir before serving as the oil might separate.

# Notes:

01 - Want it creamier? Toss in a spoon of tahini or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

02 - Like it tangy or sweet? Add more mustard or adjust the honey to suit your taste.

03 - This is great not just on salads but also for roasted veggies or over grain bowls.
